CAUTION
 Before folding a rear seatback, make
sure that the rear seat warmer switch is
off. If a rear seatback is folded while the

heat the seat excessively and damage
the seat surface.
 Do not use organic solvents to clean the
seat. It may damage the seat surface
and the heater.
NOTE
 Use the seat warmer when the engine
is running. Leaving the seat warmer
on for long periods with the engine not

Radio equipment like this is governed
by laws in the United States.
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
